Andheri (known as Bank of Baroda Andheri, due to a naming rights deal) is a metro station on Line 1 of the Mumbai Metro serving the Andheri suburb of Mumbai, India. It was opened to the public on 8 June 2014.[1] After Ghatkopar, Andheri is the busiest station on Line 1, with a daily passenger traffic of 72,125 in February 2017.[2]

The Andheri station is connected with the Andheri railway station's foot-over bridge through a skywalk.[3][4][5] The skywalk is winding and takes a long detour, and requires an estimated 8 minutes for commuters to transfer between systems. The MMOPL built a shorter connector between the railway station foot-over bridge and the metro station's concourse. The new connector reduced the time taken by commuters to switch systems down to two minutes.[6]

Like other Line 1 stations, the interior walls of Andheri station are embellished with murals. The designs at Andheri were styled by three third-year architecture students: Shamika Desai, Misri Patel, and Shriya Sanil.[7]

History

In February 2017, MMOPL announced that Andheri station would be rebranded as Bank of Baroda Andheri Metro station, as part of a sponsorship deal.[8][9]
